A member asked:
Can a pediatric surgeon do the gynecology surgery for imperforate hymen?
10 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
Not recommended: A pediatric surgeon has training in a host of areas but not in gynecology. I would seek a pediatric gynecologist or a gynecologist with several years of experience. Gynecologists understand the anatomy better.

Perhaps: Gynecologists would do more of these type of procedures and i would recommend seeing a pediatric gynecologist or a gynecologist as oppose to a general ob/gyn.

Sure: A pediatric surgeon should be well versed in the procedure. A general gynecologist also should have the appropriate skill set to solve this problem. It is in general a simple problem to solve. Be sure to find someone you feel comfortable with and that answers all of your questions.
